Oxford Case Histories in Lung Cancer contains a comprehensive selection of 40 clinical cases that reflects the multidisciplinary approach to the management of lung cancer. Written by authors specialising in respiratory medicine, oncology, pathology, radiology, palliative care, and thoracic surgery, the cases cover both incidents commonly faced in clinical practice, or those that pose particular challenges. Each case consists of a brief case history, followed by questions and answers to discuss common questions arising during the management of lung cancer. The answers are based on the best available evidence from the latest research, and should help optimise the diagnostic pathways available to patients. The text is also extensively illustrated with over 75 CT and MRI scans and X-ray images to help the reader develop interpretative skills. The book may also be used in multidisciplinary sessions to help make arguments for patient care decisions based on real-life scenarios. This is an essential new resource for both trainees and recently appointed consultants who will work with patients who have lung cancer, specialist nurses, and lung cancer MDT co-ordinators.
Part of the Oxford Case Histories series, this volume contains over 45 well-structured cases from clinical practice, giving a comprehensive coverage of the diagnostic and management dilemmas faced in clinical microbiology and infectious diseases.
A new addition to the Oxford Case Histories series, Obstetric Medicine provides the reader with 55 cases of different clinical presentations in obstetric medicine. Each case is presented with a background to the subject area, a summary of the history, and examination findings, and relevant investigation results. This is followed by several questions on clinically important aspects of the case with answers and detailed discussion, particularly of the differential management options. Each topic is mapped on to both the curriculum for physicians undertaking obstetric medicine, and for obstetric trainees studying for membership exams, the Advance Training Skills Module in maternal medicine, and speciality training in maternal and fetal medicine. Providing an ideal self-assessment tool, this new title is of interest to all doctors working in obstetrics, midwives, and students revising for exams.
England has been fought over for centuries, by invaders and in civil wars. The sites of these desperate struggles are as varied as the reasons they were fought over, be they fields, towns, or fortresses, by land, sea, or air. These haunted acres are places of commemoration, memory and, above all, history. By looking at them like any other form of historical evidence, much can be learned about the events which took place there. In this ground-breaking volume covering over 500 battlefields, Michael Rayner unravels these various strands and weaves them back together to give clear, concise accounts of the battles which shaped England.

The emergence of learning policy is traced through a history of postwar UK education and training. The 1944 settlement is seen to be replaced by a new settlement marked by the 1988 Education and 1992 Further and Higher Education Acts. This also signals a change from the classic, postwar welfare state to a postwelfare, workfare or contracting state.
